Canada's Provincial Police

The New Jersey State Police does not experience much turnover. However, within a twenty-five year career, a trooper’s attitude, and how that attitude relates to job satisfaction and output can be measured. While a trooper with 10-15 years experience may be distrustful of command staff, junior troopers (those with 1-5 years) are viewed as zealots. Junior troopers are productive and engaged in their field. A trooper’s job satisfaction can be measured by his/her’s perceived organizational support. Job satisfaction has a direct correlation to employee engagement and perceived organizational support.

I spent my third and fourth session of my practicum with Constable Dwayne Harrison and Constable Paul Davis. Both members of the Lethbridge Regional Police Service (LRPS) are in the patrol unit; responding to calls and investigating. Patrol work is broad, responding to calls that mostly consist of theft, mischief, and domestic. It defines the police as a public service and making the public happy to have someone to solve their problems.

The Canadian criminal justice system collects statistics and data on a variety of topics in respect to both offenders and victims. Some of the data that is collected include information about an offender or victim's age, race, and marital status. Whether or not data should be collected and what kind of data that is being collected has been a topic of controversy. Canada has no official policy regarding the use of racial profiling, but that does not mean that it is not prevalent in our society. It is known that making information about the race of an offender public potentially leads to racial profiling by the public; however the collection of data is important for other areas of the criminal justice system. Collecting data for use in the criminal

Canada’s Criminal Justice System and its personnel’s may not be as perfect as it is portrayed. Authorities such as the police and judges are shown as making ethical decisions in favor of peace, equity, and justice in society, although, they may go beyond their boundaries and abuse their powers and authority and are subject to review. In this paper I will discuss how police and judges abuse their powers and authority within the Canadian Justice System and how it is dealt with as well as critique it from both an advantageous and disadvantageous perspective. First, I will discuss the mechanisms, such as the guidelines and rules

It is believed that while all human kind may have had common beginnings in the millennia past, the course of human history prevents all races from reverting back to that common kind. It is further believed that the racism that subsists in today’s society does not exist in the same manner within Canada. While Canada is an egalitarian society, a close examination would suggest that the blunt historical and social truths of racism that are often smugly denied exist very much in Canadian society and have seeped into the Canadian criminal justice system. The racialization of crime, discriminatory policing, minority overrepresentation in prison populations and a blatant denial of justice are aspects of the system that taint much of its past and create a worried present. This paper argues against the prevalent Canadian defence of egalitarianism by establishing the presence of systemic discrimination within the Canadian criminal justice system.

Aboriginal men and the Canadian Criminal Justice system have had a long and tragic relationship that has resulted in a mistrust and hatred for law enforcement. Police and Indian Agents were once use as pawns in order to keep Aboriginals on their reserves and out of sight of the average Canadian. Aboriginal's are facing increasing levels of poverty, addiction, homelessness and culture shock due to Canadian mistreatment and racism. This is a major factor behind the number of Aboriginal men in Canadian prisons. “Whilst comprising approximately 8% of the adult population in Saskatchewan First Nations account for 80% of all prison male inmates.(9)” Saskatchewan is not the only province to face these issues of aboriginal over-representation as others

1. What are the different types of police forces we have in Ontario and how do they differ and how are they the same?

Canada has a long history of policing and keeping up with the changing times; starting with the Dominion of Canada in 1867 to present time. As Canada evolved as a Nation so did the Police forces of Canada. The first Police force in Canada was 1868 the “Dominion Police Force”; it was federal in nature and its main responsibility was to take care of the federal buildings in Ottawa. With increasing guidance and control needed their jurisdiction extended to policing of central and eastern parts of Canada. As Canada expanded to the west and Northwest Territories, Prime Minister Macdonald created North West Mounted Police (NWMP) in May of 1873 due to the Mets uprising and to control the whisky trade. The Metis uprising was due to the push of settlers

I have heard a bit about the topic of justice and the First Nations peoples before. When I was in high school a took a course on current issues of Aboriginal peoples in Canada. In this course we discussed some of the injustices that the First Nations have endured both in the past and in the future. One of these injustices were the way in which the First Nations people were often the victims of police brutality.

John Crawford committed his first murder in 1981, two days before Christmas after meeting a woman at the bar. He was convicted of that murder and was sentenced to jail until 1989 after being paroled. Only 3 years after being given his life back, he took the lives of 3 others. He was finally caught and convicted in 1996 of the 3 murders and got 3 life sentences. If only we had the death penalty, those 3 women would still be alive today. In Canada, the most serious sentence for murder is life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years. In some cases, these criminals are eligible for parole within years of their sentencing. However, that is just not good enough. We cannot allow criminals to run free only years after their previous illegal

On the 7th of October 2010, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) received a tip off from the American Drug Enforcement Agency that a ship (the Edelweiss) containing narcotics had sailed from South America and was planning a rendezvous with an Australian vessel, the Mayhem of Eden, on the evening of the 8th of October 2010 , at an identified location off the coast of Australia.

When looking back at ancient systems, I see opportunities for change within our current Canadian criminal justice system. Today, Justice is coherently linked with punishment because we use a “Tough on Crime Approach” (Zinger,2016). Criminal justice focuses on locking up convicted offenders, to eliminate them from society and deter them from reoffending (Wacks, 2015). Natalie DeFreitas states that this is not an effective system because 70% of people incarcerated reoffend after one year of being released from prison (DeFreitas, 2012). In order to reduce recidivism Canada must focus on repairing the harm created between the victims and the offender, just like in ancient times. The state should not be considered the victim of an offence, instead

Is CIMS still the right answer (sharing information across the PRIDE police agencies)? Is this vision too grandiose for police agencies to embrace at this time? Should PRIDE agencies continue to expend effort and resources (demanding more complicated system requirements) to work toward this information sharing goal? Should WRPS follow the “I’ll have what she’s having” strategy and simply select the same solution as the other PRIDE agencies?

The RCMP is a Canadian national police service. Mission means how we will achieve our vision. The mission is very close to the vision. Mission is a motive and inspire employee and reduce crime, generate or increasing public support, and help rebuild the image of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Mission is a work with the partner and communicates to make more power and safety country in the world. Use of technically support investigation of the criminal firearms and misuse in Canada and internationally. The launch of RCMP the proposed mission statement would help re-focus both employees and the public on the true critical mission of the RCMP and it remained to Canadian for true purpose of the organization. Mission statement can cover memorable,

On June 27, a few days after high school exams finished and the fresh scent of summer became present I could smell sunscreen lotion everywhere I went, the hotness of the sun burning my face, and the joyness everyone had of freedom. However, I had to work full-time I started my first summer job in Youth in Policing in Oshawa it frightened me thinking about being in a room with 60 other strangers. First day of this initiative was like a Rubik’s cube, most of us were nervous and lost. Worried if we'd be judged? Not fit in? It was a puzzle because just like the Rubik’s cube, you can turn it around just not in any unplanned direction, otherwise it's going to get more complicated. Before you make a decision, you have to know what's occurring around
